"Exactly 90 days ago, Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States. That means Thursday marks his administration's whiff on a major self-imposed deadline — one to assemble a team that would, within 90 days, assess claims of Russian interference in the presidential election and examine American cybersecurity. Trump made the promise repeatedly: "My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!" he tweeted Jan. 13.
........

The National Security Council would normally be involved in creating such a report. But on Wednesday, a NSC spokesperson told Politico that he was unaware if the NSC was in charge of compiling it, or if that responsibility fell to (Rudy Giuliani, who was tasked by Trump to build partnerships on cybersecurity with the private sector)— or if the report exists.

Giuliani is continuing his work talking to the private sector, but a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor confirmed that he is not involved in any 90-day report.

Missing the cybersecurity deadline is of particular concern to critics, including Ned Price, who was a spokesman for the National Security Council under former President Barack Obama. Missing the deadline shows "a lackadaisical approach to what intelligence officials have routinely said is our biggest national security threat," Price told Politico. "It speaks to the level of priority that this administration apparently has attached to cybersecurity, which apparently isn't much."

2. "Trump promises...fails to deliver"

That could well end up being the most repeated headline this year.

5. Will that be happening before or after he doesn't deliver the 90 day review of immigration policy?

[Mr. Ected]

6. Talk about a self-incriminating report

I'd rather hear Comey's report. At trial. Trials. Plural.

7. Rudy Giuliani the lobbyist?

Giuliani is working as a representative for a turkish busniess-man arrested for international money-laundering and subverting the US-sanctions against Iran.

8. He didn't "fail to deliver", he was just lying about it to begin with

That is his M.O.

9. And 90 days put it far enough into the future that he can say

"No one cares about that anymore!"
